The plan That Was Scrapped
New Presbyterian "Manse1
(Continued from last week)
Announcer:
Mr. Taylor, what was this bas-
ic military plan which fell by the
wayside?
Taylor:
Why, Mr. Truman ordered our
ground troops into South Korea
and thus scrapped the plan. I
do not know. Neither do many
of our military leaders. But
here are the facts.
The fundamental of the plan
was to keep our intervention in
Korea, our chastisement of the
North Koreans by our forces,
up off the ground. We were to
keep our intervention off the
ground—and especially off the
ground in South Korea, the
homeland of our friends.
It was proposed by important
military planners that:
1. We serve an ultimatum on
the North Korean Red aggres-
sors, through the UN, directing
them to withdraw their aggres-
sor troops north of the 38th
parallel within 24 hours.
2. That the North Koreans sub-
mit to the UN for judgment the
issues with South Koreo which
they'say caused them to resort to
military force.
3. That on North Korea’s fail-
ure to comply in accord with the
Charter of the United Nations,
the air and sea forces of the
United States and the United Na-
tions would instantly declare a
naval blockade around Korea,
and, at the same time, bomb all
communications and industry in
North Korea—and only North
Korea.
The plan would have left South
Korea, the homeland of our
friends, untouched by our forces
in the intervention. For not a
bomb would drop there nor a
foot soldier would be landed.
4. That we would keep up this
bombing of North Korea — and
only - No'rth Koiea—indefinitely,
if necessary. From our bases on
Guam and Okinawa and Japan,
we would bomb the North Kor-
ean ports—Najin, Cnonjin, Kun-
san, Wonsan, Chinnampo — the
capital and every railroad and
factory. But we would never-
never—put an American foot
soldier in South Korea.

WM. PETMECKY ADDRESSES
LIONS CLUD MEMBERS HERE
Lion Wm. Petmecky of Fred-
ericksburg addressed the Harper
Lions Club at their regular mem-
bership meeting on Wednesday
night last week for which a good
attendance, including eight pros-
pective new members, were pre-
sent.
Petmecky elaborated on why
business men and citizens should
support a Lions Club, or any
other civic organization.
“Problems arise in any com-
munity that can only be solved
by a civic club, such as your
Lions Club. These can be com-
muntiy health, street,- sidewalk,
school campus, cemetery or other
public grounds improvement or
beautification; support of your
schools athletic teams or out-
standing scholastic; aids to your
community churches or the
spreading of cheer to the sick
or unfortunate of your commun-
ity. Sponsorship, of livestock or
agricultural shows comes handy
when you have a live community
organization.

Mr. Mueller is reported to have:

heavy load of shot struck Mrs
Mueller in the face.

“A civic club as the Lions
brings close together the men of
all creeds, occupations and inter-

to break bread with one another,

CATHOLIC YOUTH TO MEET
ANNUAL CONVENTION SUNDAY
The Scuttled Plan
This plan limited Stalin’s abil-
ity to support stooge fighters a-
gainst us in Korea and else-
where. The only way Stalin
could retaliate help his stooges
that he had edged on—would be
to engage his own Russian Red
Air Force against our bombers
out in the open and, thus risk
general war. This he clearly
would not want to do in Korea
with other, more important, a-
teas available to him for initial
combat on his own.
Now, certainly, the achieve-
ment of our objective in Korea
could not take longer, by this
plan which was scuttled, than
fighting our way on the ground
all the way up the peninsula,
mountain by mountain, town by
town.
In short, we would have made
life miserable, made aggression
miserable, for the Korean satel
lites that march when Stalin
says to march. We would have
made life miserable from the air
in their own territory —; North
Korea—and only North Korea.
We would not have been party
to the destruction of the South
Korean homeland.
For, regardless of our good in-
ternational motives, it’s difficult
today for a South Korean native
to see how he and his family
and his home are being protect-
ed, when his own countryside is
made a battlefield by Americans
from far away. Actually, be-
cause we must support our sol-
diers on the ground, our bombers
have bombed more targets in
South Korea than in North Korea
—although both North and South
lave been set on fire.
What we are doing now is like
fighting up the state of Califor-
nia and displacing all the people
in South California. Why, 300,-
000 people live in Taegu alone.
In fact, we have already put
over a. million-and-a-half South
Koreans on relief.
Now what this can eventually
mean to us is not hard to ima-
gine. When we get ail through,
it appears that we Americans
will have to rebuild South Korea
all over again.
An Advantage We Lost
Further, by the plan which fell
by the wayside — and this is
enormously important—we would
have been exploiting airplanes,
our technical advantage over our
North Korean opponent, instead
of fighting the enemy on their
own terms, namely, unlimited
ground troops, which they can
throw against us without regard
for human life — theirs or our
own. Instead, all our ground
forces would remain intact and
secure for other possible mis-
Approximately 1000 Catholic

Seaman 2nd class C. D. Jung,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Herman
Jung of near Harper, arrived on
Sunday to spend a ten-day
leave at home. C. D., a graduate
of Harper high school, following
which he was employed at Hotel
Nimitz, enlisted in the US Navy
earlier this year. He has com-
pleted boot training and is at
present stationed with a Navy
ship at San Francisco where he
is to report back for duty next
week. Mr. and Mrs. Jung re-
cently visited with C. D. while
he was at San Diego. The young
seaman stated that he liked the
Navy fine but that the San Fran-
cisco weather did not especially
appeal to him. The young man
displayed a number of artistic
“tatoo” marks on his arms, in-
cluding a picture of a Texas
steer which he proudly wears a-
long with some other customary
“Navy” tatoo marks including
his name and the name of his
ship.

four months remain in which the
receipts may be secured. He will
however, be at the office long
before usual office hours on Mon-

payer or payers if they- wish to

Payments will begin both on
taxes and poll taxes. The period
beginning Monday will run thru

per cent in October, two in No-

be allowed on all payments except
taxes for independent school dis-

Home Made Tractor
Good response has been report-
ed by solicitors in the early days
of the campaign to solicit funds
for the construction of a new
fire station for the Harper Vol-
unteer Fire Department, Floy
Bode, president of the associa-
tion reported at a meeting held
by the firemen on Tuesday night.
Over $500.00 had already been
contributed and subscribed to the
fund, with the ultimate goal be-
ing $5,000.00.
Members of the department
are confident that the necessary
money will be obtained. The new
building is to house the fire truck
and other fire-fighting equip-
ment, as well as provide a suit-
able and adequate meeting place
for the Harper Volunteer fire-
men.
At Tuesday night’s meeting,
Rev. Jack Minter and Roy Steitle,
were named to canvass the re-
sidential section of Harper. The
business section will be canvass-
ed by members of the fire de-
partment who have already been
assigned to the rural areas, as
mentioned in last week’s issue
of the Herald.
Every effort will be made to
contact property owners who
own business buildings or resid-
ences in Harper, even though
they themselves do not reside in
Harper. The fire department is
a valuable asset to this commun
ity and should not be neglected
or denied by any person who
owns property in or around Har-
per, for no one can foretell when
a disastrous fire will break out
or where the Harper volunteer
firemen would be called in case
of an emergency.
The fire department has al-
ready proven that it is of untold
benefit to Harper and surround-
ing territory. Firemen have aid-
ed in putting out small blazes
which, had they not been check-
ed in tipie, would certainly have
consumed entire buildings and
perhaps adjacent structures. The
firemen have unflinchingly re-
sponded to emergency calls from
the rural areas and have given
their time and services gratis,
sometimes at an inconvenience
or neglect to their own business.
Show your appreciation and
give your wholehearted moral
and financial support to a really
worthy cause by contributing to
the building fund for the new
Harper fire station. Citizens who
are anxious to see Harper pro-
gress, will not hesitate to do-
nate eagerly and liberally to one
of the most outstanding projects
ever undertaken here.
Let’s all help the Harper fire-
boys in promoting a suitable
fire station where they can store
the fire truck and where they
can hold their regular meetings
and drill sessions. It’s up to the
residents of Harper and sur-
rounding areas to help make this
campaign a big success!

shopping in Kerrville Monday
evening.
Norman Stehling, seated on
tractor, and Charles Teschner,
are seen above with the “home-
made tractor” which they com-
pleted recently after about six
months of “spare time work.”
Stehling built the tractor with
assistance of Mr. Teschner and
Marvin Eckert and Harry Tesch-
ner, co-owners.
Powered with a IVz h. p. Wis-
consin gasoline engine, the un-
ique home-made tractor has a-
bout everything which a farmer
or gardener could ask for in a
modern tractor. The power plant
is built on a steel body, using
Model A and Model T Ford parts
and frames, with the steering
wheel being from a Model A and
the gear shift and transmission
also from an old Model A. The
clutch is from a Model T with
another clutch having been added
which prevents the gears from
“grinding” when they are en-
gaged.
The tractor has six forward
speeds and -two speeds in re
verse. It can travel 11 miles per
hour in high gear. Its slowest
speed has not been com-
puted but it is very slow since
the compound low gear will give
it. plenty of pulling power and
* -v -
necessary causes the tractor to
move along very slowly.
Stehling also built a home-
made 7-disc “one-way” and an
eight-inch Sulky plow, which can
be controlled from the seat. Both
units can be lifted off the ground
when the tractor is traveling and
the implement is not in use in
field or garden work. The front
tires are 4.00x12 and the rear
tires are 6.50x16 tractor tread.
Mr. Stehling and Mr. Teschner
stated that they have plenty of
work for the little machine and
they will not be able to accept
“outside” jobs . . nor, as the
builders stated, is the tractor for
sale. Total cost of the tractor,
not counting their time in build-
ing it, amounts to less than
$300.00, with actual material and
parts costs, including the $125.00
Wisconsin gas engine, amounting
to between $250.00 to $275.00,
Messrs. Stehling and Teschner
stated. The tractor is flexible in
that it can be turned around in
a small diameter. It can per
form a variety of work, with two
shafts having been provided
where pulleys can be attached
for performing all kinds of odd
jobs, running other machinery,
etc,
